The "Shrinkos" need to do another study to build up their retirement fund. Our
society is so messed up. I have found the the psycho MDs are thes one who need
a self evaluation the most. I think we need to send Mitchell to Italy and try
there judicial system.

Most wouldn't agree with me, but you have you're daughter back, you are getting
her the help she needs, the man needs to be punished, but WHY all the HATE?
Aren't you supposed to be teaching "Forgive 70 x 7? Don't you live your
religion? Hope he gets his just do, but to spout hate and such the way you are
is very disapointing to me Mr. Smart, as a matter of fact you are setting a very
poor example for your girls, your family, your neighbors, your Ward and your
Stake! My friend, I was broad-sided by a drug addict in 1996, she killed my
friend, hurt my daughter, and gave me a SEVERE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY which has
left me disabled, and I have to take several drugs a day to keep my brain
chemistry somewhat normal. I have suffered horribly since, but you know what, I
FORGIVE HER! The state pardoned her of over $77,000 and counting more medical
expenses which have added thousands to the total, I forgive them as well. They
deserved their just do, but that's it, I forgive them, end of story, LIFE GOES
ON!

Glad our state is paying a mental evaluator $500,000 to interview this nut job
for 6 months when it could have paid someone already on a yearly salary of
perhaps $100,000 per year time to do that over several months. If you ask me,
that person should be put away for stealing from the state and tax payers!

In many other countries, we could just throw this guy in the dungeon the
rest of his life and throw away the key, or in other more stringent countries
with far less crime, just put him out of his misery right away. Save millions
in costs and help out society by getting rid of these dangerous psychos!

Mitchell appears to be a narcissistic pedophile, parading behind a facade of
religious doctrine with no actual substance behind it. I think it is excellent
that he is finally being brought to justice and that Dr. Welner put the time and
thought into gathering so many collateral sources of information and compiling a
report that includes so many reflections of Mitchell's antisociality.Everyone continues to say "I could offer the same opinion for a much cheaper
price." Well, don't you think that there is a reason why you weren't asked to?
There is a heightened level of quality assurance that comes along with a higher
price.

What really makes the difference whether he is competent or not? He should be
put away forever IN A PLACE HE CANNOT LEAVE - and we all know he was competent
enough to hide who she was and run away, so why not competent enough for prison
forever?

Why do we care whether he is competant to stand trial or not? He is a proven
threat to others, so lock him away and throw away the key. There is no
rehabilitating these sexual predators, whether or not they have delusions, so no
reason to think he should ever be alone and unfettered with another person for
the rest of his miserable life. The only thing being debated is if he gets put
in a cell painted with white paint, or an unpainted one. This
sociologically-driven track that has been accepted into the justice system is a
crock and a waste. The lawyers, sociologists and psychiatrists who prop it up
are just more conniving bottom-feeders.

The only true justice will come from God who warns if any offends these little
ones then they would wish that they had never been born at all. Even torture and
ending his life won't bring real justice to Mitchell but it would speed up the
justice process and make most of us feel a lot better. And to those who are
bogging this down the Eagles and Willie were right "Lets kill all the lawyers
lets kill them tonight". (OK kill is harsh how about just eliminate them, most
of them are useless)

Brian is having fun and he is getting all the attention. I don't know him but I
can tell he never work before taking this young girl and Wanda and now having
fun with many people today. What do you think? Why not send him in Cuba Prizon
along with all those Terrorist Group? Or let Pres Oboma get involve and
realizing where all the money went to the swink.

Why did we bring in a phsychiatrist from New York. Don't we have any competent
local doctors who charge far less money? Give me a break! Who agreed to pay this
bill? Get rid of him/her first. Any idiot can see he is playing the court system
and the medical field for all its worth. Mental health professionals are a joke.
They read in books and learn in school but frequently don't know what they are
doing. Common sense should say something here! Why burden the taxpayers like
this. Get rid of the people who have agreed to these costs is my lament. I agree
with Ed Smart. This is ridiculous.

The true problem is that we are too liberal for our criminals. That's why our
crime rate keeps going up an up. This guy should have been convicted 4 years
ago. Who cares if he was in the court room or not, they could have put him in a
room to watch via video. This is long from over because, we allow people to
appeal and then appeal again. The laws are built to protect the criminal, not to
protect the victim.

I have worked as a medical-legal expert for 15 years. My rate is $300 per hour.
I have never charged more than $2000 for any given report nor more than $10,000
total for any case beginning with the initial consultation and ending with
trial. $500K in charges is way, way, too much to pay for any one case, even a
high profile case like this. Shame on the government officials, attorneys,
whoever agreed to pay this astronomical bill. I'm with the folks above on this
one.

The statements by Skeem are very suspicious. It almost seems she was coaching
Mitchell on how to derail the process. I think people have failed to note
that Welner spent OVER 1000 hours, so it was LESS THAN $500 per hour. Those who
gripe also forget that anyone who runs their own business has non-billable
hours.

Of course he is crazy! Is there a sane person in the world who would kidnap and
rape a little girl? The fact that he is crazy doesn't mean he shouldn't have to
face the consequences of the choices he's made. I guess if the legal process
doesn't give him what he deserves someone else will in the afterlife...

For those of you complaining about someone charging the normal rate, I suggest
you go to school for eight years, work 90 hours a week for four years and then
work 70 hours a week for the next 20 to build a successful practice.

As far as "outsourcing" the job to New York, it's obvious that they wouldn't
use another Dr. in Utah. These are tight knit communities. It would be
dfficult to find another Utah Dr. that would openly bash this Dr. like he did.

Wellner and his study were expensive but necessary in this case because of Skeem
and the fools who accepted her "expert" opinion unquestioningly.

Hopefully those who have been fooled these last six years will learn a lesson
about the true value of "expert" opinion.

Good for Elizabeth herself
who reportedly has eschewed on a personal level these worldly priestcrafts of
psychiatry and psychotherapy and who instead has turned to a far more omniscient
and omnipotent God along with good family and friends. Evidently she is on the
right track, too, judging by how well she is doing now!
